What is an HS-CRP Test?
The High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HS-CRP) test is a highly precise blood analysis used to detect very low levels of C-reactive protein in the blood. While a standard CRP test identifies major infections or inflammation, the HS-CRP test in Kolkata is specifically used to identify "low-grade" chronic inflammation, which is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
Why is HS-CRP Critical for Heart Health?
Medical research has shown that even if your cholesterol is normal, hidden inflammation in the arteries can lead to cardiovascular events. The HS-CRP test helps categorize your risk levels:
- Low Risk: HS-CRP level less than 1.0 mg/L.
- Average Risk: HS-CRP level between 1.0 and 3.0 mg/L.
- High Risk: HS-CRP level greater than 3.0 mg/L.
- Chronic Monitoring: Helps doctors decide if preventative treatments like statins are necessary for intermediate-risk patients.
